32 to 64

[Masoom Siddiqui]

Hello,

I apologize if this has been answered before. Has anyone attempted to do an
"in-place" upgrade of RHEL from 32 to 64 bit, either keeping to same major
version or different? What issues, if any, have you run into?

It appears that there is an upgrade option. Below is from a redhat
article...


In-place upgrades across major releases do not preserve all system settings,
services or custom configurations...Having said this, there is an upgrade
option to allow an upgrade without requiring a full reinstall. To get this
functionality, insert the installation CD of the new version and enter
either of these commands on the boot prompt:

# linux upgrade

or

# linux upgradeany

Regards
